Topic: High Carbonation Bottling (Read 1576 times)

Do you use standard 12 oz. bottles for high carb beers, like a Berliner Weisse, especially for competition?

I would like to bottle condition a BW, but I'm not sure how the bottles will handle the higher volumes of CO2. I know the general consensus is nothing above 3 volumes in standard bottles. So does that mean everyone sends higher CO2 beers in special bottles?

I use the heavy Belgian bottles for highly carbonated beers. A few years ago there was an event at a local bar where the representative from Rochefort visited. A friend picked up a whole bunch of those empties and shared the excess.
